Discover Chassieu

Chassieu offers several practical starting points for planning a trip: the weekly market, trails through the countryside, cultural activities, golf and events at the Eurexpo exhibition centre.

Visit the market at Place Coponat

Chassieu’s mixed market is held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 5:00 am to 12:30 pm at Place Coponat. It offers food and textiles, and many local producers also sell food. The range of vendors may change, and exact opening hours may also vary. If visiting the market is important to your trip, plan for the stated morning time slot and check the specific hours in advance.

Countryside trails: wildlife and views

The Promenade du Biezin is 4.5 km long and designed for pedestrians and cyclists. It is a good way to observe the flora and fauna of the agricultural plains of eastern Lyonnais. It combines a specific route length with an opportunity to experience the natural environment and its wildlife and plant life.

Another named trail, De la ville aux champs, offers beautiful views of the Lyon metropolitan area. The two trails therefore have different focuses: the Promenade du Biezin foregrounds nature observation and its 4.5 km route, while De la ville aux champs is associated with views of the metropolitan area.

Culture, from the stage to hands-on practice

Karavan Théâtre offers a varied programme of theatre, dance, music, comedy and documentaries. It also supports theatre, dance and music production by hosting artist groups in residencies. At open rehearsals or meet-the-artist events, audiences can meet the artists. The programme’s different strands thus offer insights into artistic work as well as opportunities to meet the artists.

The Conservatoire de musique et de danse has a different focus: residents of Chassieu and the Lyon metropolitan area can explore and develop their musical or choreographic practice there. Chassieu therefore offers both a varied stage programme and opportunities for the named residents to practise music and choreography.

Eurexpo and event dates

The Eurexpo exhibition centre in Chassieu hosts, among other events, the Foire de Lyon, Pollutec, Sirha, Équita Lyon and the Mondial des métiers. If your trip is connected to one of these events, the list provides specific starting points for planning your dates. Event calendars vary, so check the date of the event you want to attend during your travel period.

Golf with two course lengths

Golf Bluegreen Grand Lyon Chassieu has a 6-hole course and an 18-hole course. It also offers themed group lessons covering the basics of golf for players of all skill levels. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between two different course lengths and an opportunity to learn the basics. Golf is a clearly defined option alongside the market, culture and countryside trails, with no particular skill level required.
